Billy Lane, I just can't believe what an incredible mechanical genius you are, in the way you can fabricate ANYTHING and make it work so well along with your amazing knowledge of every part of every bike you ever worked on! You always leave me so inspired and appreciative for people like you who can also convey that message in such a confident manner! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Keep those videos coming! You're the best!
I've been following Billy Lane since Biker Build-Off it's great to see how far he came
You’re a good teacher. The more mechanical tutorials, the better.
The 100k subscriber milestone is right around the corner, and well deserved.
Thank you so much for watching & enjoying my videos.
Thank you for the compliment. Crazy fact from UA-cam analytics is that 83% of my views originate from outside my subscriber base. That’s been consistent since I started uploading here.
@@BillyLaneChoppers You’re welcome.
That’s wild. They need to subscribe. Perhaps a gentle reminder at the end of the videos won’t hurt, whether it’s verbal or just pointing at a “Subcribe” sign at the end. It’s not begging, it’s reminding.
And thanks for the ugly shovel series. It motivated me to go out and buy another shovel, a fixer upper project that was in a shed for nearly 25 years. It’s an 84 fx (chain final drive) and I should be riding it soon. It’s already painted in flames though, so I won’t have to set the tins on fire ;)
And thanks again for the great content.
Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 GREAT seeing the old stuff. My Floridana neighbor ! Hehe 👌🏄
You look at any small town race car, and the paint looks good from the stands, but you get up close and it's got that home made look to it. It fits what you're doing, so it's perfect.
I get to be 66 for a year!
I still don't feel like a master of anything but I still work on many things, mechanical or otherwise. I want to get my 76 FLH back together while still on this side of the daisies. I like the guidance personality you exude. Thanks, I subscribed.
Safety first make the bike adjust to the increase speeds you all are doing..Billy is the man
Billy mad respect for your skills. I been riding over 48 years and would love to take your race machine for a few laps. I would love to see Sons of Speed. I've seen the races at Wauseon and Davenport.
Damn excellent to see Billy Building!
This is all I’ve ever done, since I was a teenager
Thanks Billy for taking time out of your life and making videos for us. They are appreciated!
Thank you for taking your own time to watch them, good to have you here
Yes Sir,,,Passing the skill and love of Bike building to the next generation. I hope you know the gift you are giving.
I sir really salute you, as it has been my love since I turned 20 in Berdoo in the Air Force. Now 76 and still have a shovel hardtail....Plus 3 more Harleys. None that have a stinking computer....Oh you lucky Dog I saw those two Pans in the background ! Thanks for the invite to Nashville.
As an old timer, I Appreciate You for maintaining & sharing old world iron Alive.
Your journey is nothing short of Amazing...started out as BillyBadAss, & evolved into Dr.Billy Lane PhD the mad scientist with a love for Milwaukee Iron via tropical 🍹 paradise FL.
Blessings to you, & your family.
Billy Lane customization, Subtle, Unique, BadAss. Hope to meet you one day, and shake your hand Billy. Meanwhile, be safe & have fun brother.
Billy, I always love stopping by the shop, have a blessed week my friend.
As an "old school" lover..thank you Mr Lane for another great fab video
I enjoy seeing the process, thanks Billy.
Those are some awesome bikes and the guys who throw a leg over them are complete badasses!
These 750cc Harley-Davidson racers will smoke most 1200cc H-D big twins. Our racers are aces at the handlebars.
You do super cool work , and …unlike some others you take the time to explain what you are doing , thanks. MLNR JIMMY53! Need to send you one of my 53BRANDANAZ. All I need is the preferred color , and a mailing address. Thanx
As a 62 year old disabled veteran (ambulatory) who’s been wrenching and riding since age 4 (Thanks Pop, we miss you.) I really appreciate your dedication and skills Billy. Good Luck in the Race and, Ride On.
Thanks for your service. My father was also a warrior. In God we trust. Stars and Stripes Forever. Thailand Paul.
Thanks for properly using "damping" rather than saying "dampening" like most people. Rock on.
Awesome job Billy looks great
That first light of the gasoline flared up pretty good. Lol. Billy I wish you wouldn't have cut that out.
You did a great job Billy on the forks ! Your adopted son John from Eacy Co. would be impressed.I sure as hell am.
Great vid as always! Can’t wait to see this ripping around the track again.
Definitely A Smoother Transition, AWESOME IDEA.👍
39 narrow glides are cheap and plentiful...unlike those Springer's! Great upgrade! Home in Florida again!
I wish I could get into this type of racing it is so cool...... ALL THE BEST FROM AUSTRALIA BILLY......
What's not to get into ? Its racing man. Not only that its bike racing in its simplest form. I get your point though , different strokes right. 👍
@@thobur2661 I think when he that he "wishes he could get into this type of racing" I took it as Him wanting to get into the Sport as a Rider - in the Races.
One of the best channels on UA-cam. Thanks, Billy!
The front end mods should help keep the tires planted @ the speeds your running. Really diggin' the "Wall of Death" sliders baby,,Rock on brother,, DuBs,,,,,
I know I sound like a broken record but I feel I have to keep saying thank you for making these videos. I love machining and custom work and I know these take a lot of time and work to make having to constantly stop to show and explain the steps in the process. Thanks. These are vastly better than any garbage scripted reality bs shows.
I put a lot of work into this, but your response’s & commitment to them makes it fulfilling and worthwhile
Thats a badass bike. I'd like to get into this Sons-Of-Speed Racing 🏁
I like how you inserted a cool custom, low-buck custom fork idea in here...
I really love the springer fork but, at these speeds, an upgraded $300 Sportster fork can make a world of difference.
Great video and tutorial. Keep them coming
Awesome to have you back making regular videos again Billy!!!!
Nice work bro. Thats just a cool ride!!
Awesome to see you Billy I just subscribed didn’t know you back out at again. Awesome the forks are nice hope they work and kickass.
Great video! Billy respect for your skills!
Thank you
Billy, you are an awesome teacher.
Great Job Billy ! .....Love that ageing affect ....,Thank Your Lucky Stars 🍀⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks Billy, been a big fan for years.....
Learning from Billy Lane is like learning rock and roll from Elvis! I've been a fan of him and his work since the early 2000s. This is a dream!
That looks stellar. Good job man
As usual very interesting,informative,and relaxing to watch…thank you..
Keep up that great work Billy. It’s hard to film and build at the same time. Love the content
Great work on getting Jake's bike back together. It looks and sounds great!
I knew you could do that,good job brother Billy 👍☕️☕️✌️
Watching you work, makes me wanna get back into it. So much knowledge right there, fluid workmanship, seems like you get so much enjoyment from it, I used to be like that and hopefully, one day, I'll get that back. Right now, I gotta concentrate on being a dad.
Awesome content
Love all the hard work
Great to see your fab skills and know how
I always learn something new
Man you make this stuff look so easy! Keep living your best life
Thank you for the in depth breakdown of the forks, it makes me confident to attempt jobs like that when I’ve seen it done before.
Holy quac batman, this popped up in my recommends & glad it did. This shows and explains so many things and not just about a motorcycle.
Billy, your videos are great. Thank you. JMS
You literally look the happiest, and most at piece than you ever have since ive been following you way back in the late '90's. Its a privilege to continue to watch you and follow you Billy, God Speed brother. 🇺🇸
Great video as usual keep ‘em going!!!!
Your a very good teacher. I learn more from you than any other bike channel I've seen. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain everything you do and why you do it.
That is a wonderful compliment, thank you for sharing it with me.
Great vid! Funny thing is I'm just finishing my rattle-can paint job on a rat-chop Harley a guy is putting together for me.
I feel way more happy about the amount of time I am needing to do the job to get desired outcome.
Your patience is contagious!
Billy, I've been following your work since the first Biker Build off. Everything you've done so far is absolutely amazing, but in my opinion, what you're doing in Sons of speed is your best. Greetings from Croatia
Quickly becoming my favorite channel!
Nice work! that new front end should definitely help. Love the paint scheme on the forks. God bless the U.S.A.
Excellent show. Also very good filming
Brother Billy dude you are a fucking genius man and just make it look like a dude in his garage can do what you do. I thought you were hands-down the best dude in the Biker Build-Off series back in the day and it's awesome to see that you haven't lost your Flair bro you are the shit!
Nice rebuild on the bike , can't hardly believe the pilot didn't get broken during the fall 👍👍🇺🇸
Thank you for the time and expertise. Like others that have commented, I feel I am watching a master at work.
Looks great as always, it’s cool to watch you in action , when do you build another beautiful chopper ,can’t wait!!
THANK YOU MR. LANE for sharing the details and techniques and keeping the scene alive and not just the current trends !
Mr Lane you are the real deal. Love the bikes you make. Best wishes from South Wales U.K.
Thanks Billy, nothing but quality content, always, appreciate it.
Glad you are enjoying this
Another informative video. I learn something watching every time. Thanks and keep ‘em coming!!!
Looks great! I really like the steering dampener. Hoping to get to Tennessee on the 27th and check it out. Best of luck to you all!
did you make it to the Tennessee race?
Really Enjoyed this. Feels like im right there Chillin in the shop with You. Always Enjoy the aged paint techniques. Thank You Brother
Billy I look forward to your videos each time you post one. As always great job. I pick up so much from you on tricks and ways to get a job done. Thanks for everything you give to the motorcycle community and myself. You take care and stay safe.
Nice watch Billy. I'll be adding a couple of Steinharts to my collection. The one you're wearing in this video will be one if them. The Ocean One GMT.
Love this channel! Had no idea Billy was making videos and I’m so happy I found it. I feel like it’s such a privilege to watch a world class builder in action. Keep up the great work.
This man is a great builder of bikes. His UA-cam videos are a great learning from them. Educational videos
I love seeing the techniques of a pro. You're passing on valuable knowledge. It's very entertaining and much appreciated.
Great work Billy you do alot for your rider safety
Love these videos Billy. Learning a ton, love seeing building ideas and mechanical tricks man. Thank you 🙏
So grateful for the comment, so much more to come your way
Awesome work once again man, the whole front end is just unbelievable,...., .tatro would be proud....
Love what you do man, been watching since the first biker build off....
These forks look awesome. Love the sharpie trick. Keep the great videos coming
Your videos are always enjoyable Billy.., I like when you throw shit -- that always gives me a chuckle😅
Absolutely compelling stuff. The story of Billy Lane keeps on going…
That old school spray paint to give it that home built look from back in the day is absolutely perfect for this bike. A pro paintjob would be out of place on this thing. You have an exceptional artistic mind. You always have the coolest builds.
Nice work Billy like always !!!! You the man !!!
Sad to see the Springer go but the paint job on the new forks is just cool. Love anything Indian Larry. Guy was a genius. Best of luck,
LOVE that bike man. Didn't think I would like it as much visually after the springer removal.. ended liking it better afterwards.
Thanks for another awesome vid,unbelievable skills
Brother your knowledge of Harleys is incredible
I know you built it for performance, but I just have to say....I love the look of this bike! Seriously looks like it could be the star of a 70s/80s action show.
Hey Billy I have the same alki seltzer box cutter! Keep wrenching big dog love your work
Billy your videos are the absolute set on UA-cam, no bull crap just quality teaching from a master fabricator. I consider myself lucky to get to watch you work, thanks for sharing your tremendous talents.
Love watching your work your bikes just got that little something better.
Great work Billy, bike looks great! Love the Indian Larry support!
Great work. Always tweaking to get it a little better each time.
I enjoy your methods and learn a lot from watching you - thanks.
That new front end ought to make for a much better handling motorcycle.
Mr. Billy lane!! threwout the years ive built many bikes as well as watched builders doing the same! an have found that nobody an i mean none can hold a candel for you to go by!!! your mind works like mine at times, im proud to say! where oldschool becomes newschool no howto get it done with style!! your badass billy lane!! riders always Mick j lucerne ca,
Billy it's So So good to see you back at and better then ever keep on biking on..
Great job the "update" engineering! Excellent tech tips!
Thanks for the video,
Keep them coming please
So cool to watch this absolute legend crafting stuff.
Always enjoy watching you work man.
Hope to hang again next year in Daytona.
What can i say Billy you are the man. Watch your videos and being watching everything you on Keep going bro.
Congratulations on the channel's success. 2 hours in and you've already got nearly 1500 views. I was impressed with the paint job result. I was a bit apprehensive when you pulled the tape off, but with the gold pen and aging, it was a epic result. The linear damper was something new I learned. I've seen them on super sports, but didn't realize you could clamp one on to the fork like that. Good luck in Tennessee.
YOU DID SOME BEAUTIFUL WORK BILLY, OL' SCHOOL ALWAYS 👊🏼👊🏼
